 The penthouse restaurant atop Columbia University's Butler Hall offers jaw-dropping views of northern Manhattan with necklaces of light gracing its bridges. Inside, the sparkling crystal, red roses, softly flickering candles and the harpist create an enchanting backdrop for celebratory dining and romance. A fireplace in the main dining room and a conservatory and bar complement the setting. Chef Jason Potanovich's appetizers range from Florida colossal lump crab with melon, Old Bay spice and rémoulade to boudin blanc with apple wood-smoked bacon and wild arugula. Entrées might include dishes such as veal tenderloin with Okinawa sweet potato purée, braised veal muscle, chanterelles and a Chardonnay reduction or risotto with fava beans, mushrooms and Cravero Parmesan. A wine list of over 300 selections is available, and regular cigar and wine tastings are scheduled. Fans of the striking panorama like to drop up for cocktails and maybe a petite snack.
